If you look closely you can see that somewhere behind the cloud that has moved between me and the waterfall there is still a nice spot of light on the cliff-face but from this location that’s not doing me much good. Quite a difference in a matter of only 5 minutes and 13 seconds!

the juice mixed with water and sugar to make a refreshing and cooling drink. Plant prefers warm sun and rich, fertile soil or fast-draining soil, appreciating side-dressing with compost or regular applications of liquid fertilizer (fish emulsion, kelp tea, compost tea). Water frequently. Space...
I also planted a couple crowns in an area with poor soil, less sun, and no compost and though they only produced a few leaves the first year, by the second year the plants showed strong growth. And this was with me giving them zero attention – no watering other than what they got...
In the face of climate change and global warming, scientists globally are striving for effective techniques on how best to sequester carbon in order to reduce global warming and achieve environmental sustainability. This paper reviews the available liter
Agricultural waste recycling in horticultural intensive farming systems by on-farm composting and compost-based tea application improves soil quality and plant health: A review under the perspective of a circular economy. Sci. Total Environ. 2020, 738, 139840. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Zhao, H...
[15], who state that the pH range of compost is between 7 and 9 (alkaline). SC can be an interesting option for managing acid soils, given that more than 40% of arable soils in the world are acidic [36]. Nevertheless, incorporating food waste compost into the soil can increase soil ...
GTL sludge application rates of 0.75–3% resulted in comparable or better yields than soil, chemical fertilizer, and compost controls. However, alfalfa height, aboveground fresh biomass weight, and the number of tillers decreased with excessive application rates in soil [18]. Likewise, another study...
This paper reviews management of solid wastes using SSF, with regard to its current application, advantages and challenges, downstream processing in SSF, economic viewpoint, and future perspectives. Keywords: solid state fermentation (SSF); downstream processing; organic wastes; value-added; enzymes; ...
The maturity of the compost is an important characteristic for its use. It determines the compressibility, the microbial-related oxygen consumption, the nitrogen immobilization, and the phytotoxicity of the material. The physical properties limit the proportion of compost in the growing medium. It has...
